First of all, restart the iPad (turn off and on again), reset it (press and hold Home and Power button until the Apple logo appears) and clear the multitask bar (double press the Home button to reveal it, then tap and hold an app until it starts to wiggle and delete them all).

You could also try to sign out in App Store - Featured, then sign in again with your Apple ID.
Or set your iPad to Airplane Mode in Settings, wait for a few minutes and turn off Airplane Mode again.

If everything suggested fails try to update the apps through iTunes on your computer and sync to your iPad afterwards.

My iPad 4, which is on iOS 6.1.3 will not allow or even show my available app updates. My iPhone 4S, which is on iOS 7 beta 3 updated 5 apps just now without a problem. I just checked the Apple system status page and there are no reported issues.

Open iTunes on your computer, click "Music" (upper left), then choose "Apps".
You should see your apps then. In the lower right, there should be a button: "... (Number) updates available". Click that one. Then you'll have to search for "Download all free updates".
A popup will appear, you'll have to sign in with your Apple ID and password. Then the apps should begin updating.
That done, plug in your iPad. The sync should start automatically.
